• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSKPI005 - No authorization to &1 KPI &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSKPI005, which states "No authorization to &1 KPI &2," typically occurs when a user attempts to access a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This can happen in various SAP modules, particularly in SAP Business Warehouse (BW) or SAP Analytics Cloud, where KPIs are commonly used for reporting and analysis.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization object to access the specified KPI.
  Role Assignment: The user’s role may not include the necessary permissions to view or interact with the KPI.
  KPI Configuration: The KPI may be configured in such a way that it restricts access based on certain criteria that the user does not meet.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly set up or may have been modified, leading to a loss of access rights.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to analyze the authorization check. This will show what authorization objects were checked and which ones failed.
  Review the authorization objects related to KPIs, such as S_RS_COMP (for reporting) or any specific authorization objects related to the KPI in question.
  
  
  
  Role Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include access to the KPI. This can be done through transaction code PFCG.
  If necessary, modify the role to include the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  KPI Configuration Review:
  
  Check the configuration of the KPI in the relevant transaction (e.g., KPIs in BW or the relevant application in SAP Analytics Cloud) to ensure that there are no restrictions that would prevent the user from accessing it.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes, contact your SAP security team or administrator to review and adjust the user’s authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, test access to the KPI again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control access to KPIs in your SAP environment.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional guidance or known issues.
